I realize I'm coming into this 49 posts in, and I don't want to debate the merits, simply say what I am doing.
This is one of the major effects Avatar has had on me. I've always had a major problem with how industrial livestock are treated, but I've never been able to do anything about it. I am now in the process of very slowly converting to vegetarian. I am aiming for pescatarian at first. I dropped beef nearly 2 months ago, and have had it once since. It nearly made me sick the one time I did. I have replaced almost everything with fish, violating a pure pescatarian diet maybe twice a week now.
I don't want to push my ideas on anyone. It simply makes me extremely uncomfortable knowing how most of the animals live that are going on the shelves. If it was all organic, free-range, or personally hunted, I would have much less of a problem with it.
Also, I am moving this to debate. It clearly belongs there.
